General Chemistry for Majors and Honors

Schedule, Syllabus, and Comments

Lecture MWF, 11:40 - 12:30 in BE119
Recitation and Laboratory sections are corequisites with the Lecture Section.
Registration for all three is required.
Instructor: D. Dalton, BE 340, 204-7138, dalton@sgi.chem.temple.edu, http://astro.ocis.temple.edu/~dalton

Office Hours: MWF 12:30 - 1:30 and other times by arrangement.
Lecture Text: "Chemical Principles" 2nd Edition, S. S. Zumdahl, D. C. Heath & Co.; Boston, MA (1995). There is an optional study guide available; "Study Guide for Chemical Principles", 2nd Edition, P. B. Kelter, D. C. Heath & Co, Boston, MA (1995).

This class has been signed up to use the assets of the ChemPlace. The password is the same as it was last term. New students joining the class can obtain the password from D. Dalton. In addition, THIS SYLLABUS and other material which, from time-to-time, may be important to you can be found here on this Webpage.

Examinations: There will be two (2) 50 min examinations, four recitation quizzes, and a final examination (2 hr). The final examination in this course is scheduled for ...
Grades:

>Your grade for this course is determined by

Homework: Homework problems assigned for the various chapters are suggested as illustrative of the kinds of questions you should be able to answer if you understand what was covered in the lecture and the assigned reading. If you find yourself unable to answer the questions, your difficulties should be raised as problems in recitation and/or brought to class. Alternatively, you may bring them to Office Hours. It is very important that you have attempted to solve the problem or problems yourself before you seek help since the specific problems on which you are working will not appear on examinations or quizzes. An understanding of the type of problem(s) and the general method(s) by which solution(s) can be found is important. Although it will not be graded, I am willing to look at homework you choose to turn in. If I find a serious misunderstanding or mistake, I will note it for you when the paper is returned.

IN-classwork: I anticipate calling upon individual students to answer question during the semester. Responses help decide borderline grades.
